Hello myth-users, I'm trying to install mythtv on an AMD/x86_64/fedora_4 and haven't had any luck getting it to work :(. I started-off with mythtv-suite pre-compiled package from atrpms.net and got a segmentation fault when I started mythfrontend. I learnt from the ATRPMS mailing list that the problem had been fixed but not released into the "stable" release. I posted a requestto release the fixes on myth-dev list and am yet to get a resolution.
Second attempt: I tried building mythtv from the latest svn version, but get a segmentation fault when I run mythtv(mythtv standalone, since "watch-tv" option is currently disabled in the latest version under svn) Third attempt: Installed from 'http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-18-fixes' which is the last stable release; failed again, as the build('make' after running configure/qmake) fails due to the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- g++ -c -pipe -march=k8 -w -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -DMMX -DUSING_IVTV -DUSING_XRANDR -DUSING_XVMC -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/usr\" -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/mkspecs/default -I. -I/usr/include -I../.. -I/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include -o mmx_gcc.o mmx_gcc.cpp mmx_gcc.cpp: In member function virtual void FIRFilterMMX::setCoefficients(const short int*, uint, uint): mmx_gcc.cpp:254: error: cast from short int* to uint loses precision make[2]: *** [mmx_gcc.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/mythtv_stable/mythtv/libs/libmythsoundtouch' make[1]: *** [sub-libmythsoundtouch] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/mythtv_stable/mythtv/libs' make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourth attempt: Finally I tried using the tarball to install mythtv and 'make' fails right away with the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cd libs && make -f Makefile make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-0.18.1/libs' cd libavcodec && make -f Makefile make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-0.18.1/libs/libavcodec' gcc -c -pipe -march=k8 -w -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -DPIC -fPIC -DMMX -DUSING_IVTV -DUSING_XRANDR -DUSING_XVMC -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/usr\" -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DHAVE_XVMC -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/mkspecs/default -I. -I.. -I../.. -I/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include -o utils.o utils.c In file included from avcodec.h:14, from utils.c:27: common.h:61: error: array type has incomplete element type common.h:65: error: array type has incomplete element type make[2]: *** [utils.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-0.18.1/libs/libavcodec' make[1]: *** [sub-libavcodec] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-0.18.1/libs' make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Has anybody faced similar problems as above?? If so please post suggestions to resolve the issue/s. I did come across another user having similar issue with install using the stable svn version, but haven't seen any resolution so far... The only option I haven't tried is to try installing 32-bit version! Thanks --Raj __________________________________ Yahoo!
